curing some live rock in my living room. i heard if u use carbon in the filter, it will help make the odor not so bad. is this true? is there any harm to using carbon while curing live rock??? thanks!

i think its a waste of carbon. Better off doing water changes

no harm. It should help some with the smell as it absorbs organics but I wouldn't count on too much. It will probably be full in a matter of days if the rock is uncured. If it is re-curing it after a brief shipment it may not be so bad.
